The Jackson County, Ohio, Sheriff says some teenagers were babysitting some younger children in a mobile home just outside Jackson.

The police report says a 4-year-old got angry after 18-year-old Nathan Beavers stepped on his foot.

The reports say the boy then went into a back room, loaded a shell in a 20-gauge shotgun, came out and shot Beavers in the arm. The babysitter was hospitalized, but the injury was not life-threatening.

Another teen was also hit with shotgun pellets.

The sheriff says possible violations include aggravated assault against the 4-year-old, and child endangerment against the babysitting victim. Right now, the sheriff is not sure yet if anyone will be charged.

I say call it a wash. The babysitter will never live down the fact he got capped by a 4 year old. No need for any charges.

When the 6 year old shot and killed another 6 year old in Flint, there were plenty of people who wanted him tried as an adult. I don't think he was even tried at all-it was a CPS issue, in the long run, and the parents lost their rights. If he wasn't FUBAR, someone probably adopted him.

Does a 4 year old know the consequences of his actions? Maybe he knows he will hurt the babysitter but does a 4 year old know he could have killed him and what that means?
